The Government Funds Safe.

washington Special.
The government will lose nothing by the
failure of the Fidelity Bank, which one of
the national repositories. 1t had on deposit in
the Treasury Department 900 in four-per
cent bonds security for deposits by the Col
lector of Internal Revenue The total United
States funds the day before the failure on de-
post with the Fidelity Bank was exactly $780,
boo, and the Collector at Cincinnati notified
by telegraph on that day to make his usual de-
posit in one of the other banks. He had $50, 600
which he deposited directed. and thus the
appearance of overdeposit in the Fidelity
was avoided. In the Treasurers Office il is ex-
planned that the premium on the 4per-cent
bonds would have secured the governments for
more than $780, 900 above their par value, but
the governments deposits watched very
closely, and in case are they allowed TO ex-
coed the par value of the security. Once,
years ago, Chicago bank failed where the gov
ernment's deposits, by some oversight exceeded
the security. The government stepped i'll and
made claim as a preferred creditor, but the
Comptroller of the Currency decided that the
United States would have to take pro rata
dividend, and the result was the loss of the
difference. That experience has never been
repeated. Examiners now out Old inspection are
reported TO be unusually alert.

Some Methods of Life-Insurance Companies.
H.. I'll. Gardener. IN Popular Science Monthly.
A man may now, if he is careful and wise in
the choice Of his company, insure his life. Or if
insured, he may have the temerity to die with
out a fairly grounded expectation of leaving his
family a lawsuit for legacy. He may also be
reasonably sure that he is not placing his own
reputation latter he is unable to defend it) at the
mercy of powerful corporation intent upon
saving its funds from the inroAds Of just debt.
